Any idea if I can see the Davy crater chain with 6" newtonian? Moon day 8 seems optimum. So in 4 days time South East UK.

Always worth a go Steve. This isn't one I've heard of, but it sounds like that with the correct phase, good seeing and good optics you have a chance. Make sure your scope is well cooled and collimated and use high power.

Might give it a try myself, although the forecast is pretty dire for this month. Let us know how you get on.
